Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The last time I checked I think there was approximately 15 or 16 boards, agencies and committees in one of my communities, for example, Fort Resolution, with a population of approximately 550 people. In that community there is an education society, housing authorities, band councils, Metis locals, band and community council, drug and alcohol, sport committees, all different types of board and agencies that all draw on the peoples' ability to donate their time to work on these committees in the community. But also it takes up the time and effort of many different people in the community. I know that there is legislation on the books and people have to do things in the community to access government dollars. They have to create these committees or organizations to access government dollars. Is the Minister willing to work along with his colleague, the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment in Fort Resolution, for example, and Lutselk'e to look at the community government structures as to where they could possibly save money in order to put it back into the education system or what their priority is? Thank you.
